I’ve said for a long time that if you’re a Georgia coach who doesn’t beat Georgia Tech consistently, you’re not long for Athens. Well, Mrs. Smart didn’t raise no dummy.

Coach Smart on how much time they spend preparing for #GT during the season: A lot more than we did last year. We’ve targeted a certain amount of time each Monday depending on who the opponent was preparing for them. #UGA

I’ve asked this for years with any QB running the option. In HS they coach you on how to fall when you make the pitch because you know you’re getting leveled – but in college the defender always pulls up and chases the runner.

Somebody has to know why the QB doesn’t get plowed after making the pitch. Is it for fear of a personal foul? I don’t get it.

I don’t know. When the other team ran the option I was coached to hit the QB on every play. Personally I think not hitting the QB even after he has pitched it is a mistake. A lot of times the QB fakes the pitch, the defender goes after the pitch man and the QB cuts inside for a substantial gain. Hit the QB!! Then trust your teammates to take care of the pitch man.

Cuts anywhere are chicken $#!+. You’re saying that your guy isn’t as good as the guy across from him, so I have to do something borderline dangerous to beat you … but yes, the cut downfield is just cheap and unnecessary roughness legal or not.

Quote Of The Day

“But outside of that, the biggest advantage you can have is have good leadership, have a veteran football team, and when you’ve got that, it doesn’t matter whether you have spring practice or not. When you don’t have that, it’s tougher, when you don’t have leadership and you don’t have the experience at certain positions.”— Kirby Smart, Dawgs247, 3/31/20
